An attempt to carry out some roof repairs on a house in Stratford ended with a call to the fire brigade.
The occupant was attaching felt to tiles on top of a property in Windmill Lane when the materials caught fire.
Fortunately, he was unhurt and crews from Stratford and Leytonstone put out the flames within one hour.
